Well…it rained last week at Brave Horse…show report upcoming…🙁

Two of our sweetest photos…as we neared the end of the last show day at FBF , our FBF riders stayed on to cheer and support their fellow rider in those last classes. We’ve all been the ‘last to show’ and know it can be lonely to come back to the almost-vacant stalls as things are packed away, so this was very special ❤️
